Double Wolf Pathways: Direct Admit

The Double Wolf Pathways: Direct Admit path is designed to help eligible seniors move smoothly from their undergraduate degree into graduate study at UWG. After filling out a fee-free, streamlined application, eligible seniors are directly admitted into aligned graduate programs without any delay.

Graduating this year and qualify? Your next step is ready. You can move straight from your bachelor's into your master's by submitting a simplified, fee-free application you will receive to your student email. Once you submit your application, you will be automatically admitted to your graduate program.

How it Works

Once you're eligible for the pathway, you will receive a personal link to your student email to a fee-free, streamlined application. Once your application is submitted and reviewed, you will be automatically admitted into your graduate program. 

Are You Eligible? 

To qualify for Direct Admission, you must meet all three of the following criteria:

• 100 or more credit hours completed 

• At least 30 of those hours earned at UWG 

• A cumulative GPA of 3.2 or higher 

If you believe that you're eligible but have not received an application link, please reach out to graduate@westga.edu.
